Find out in this report how the two Application Security Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The deployment is fast since we just have to run the script, and once it's done, it takes a few minutes."
"The initial setup was easy."
"The solution is scalable."
"The most valuable feature is the fact that it's cloud-based, and we don't have to manage an on-premises server to use it."
"We can make a private repository."
"This solution is just easy to use."
"The solution has been stable for us."
"All the features are valuable, but the most important feature is that GitHub has advanced security. The second important feature is the capability to create custom GitHub actions and the capability to deploy in different types of architectural infrastructures, such as hybrid, private, or public."
"The product's network and intrusion protection features are valuable. It also has rules and compliance features for security."
"Another thing that I like about Sonatype is that if you download something today, and five days from today it becomes vulnerable, it will notify you."
"GitHub could add some more security features."
"Our firewall was blocking cloning and downloading with SSH."
"This solution could be improved by offering crowd sourced support where we could ask questions to other users."
"The security point should be addressed in the next release and scaling is also an issue."
"GitHub should provide more integration in their next release, including integrating with Jenkins, CI/CD and Jira."
"The user interface on GitLab is better."
"There could be more integration into Azure."
"Could be more user friendly."
"What I don't like is the lack of an option to pick up the phone and call someone for support. That is something they need to improve on. They need to have a professional services package, or they need to include that option with their services."
"The tool needs to improve its file systems. The product should also include zero test feature."
